General Superintendent Max Edwards & Judy
December 30, 2025 Please Pray for Our Mission Exposure Team As you read this, our friends are working and worshipping together on the island of Luzon in the Philippines. Judy and I wish we would have been able to make this trip with the team, but my schedule and annual travel budget were already taxed to the point that we felt it best to stay behind this time. The team will be celebrating with our Asia Pacific brothers and sisters, conducting a very special youth congress. Tomorrow will be New Year’s Eve there. From what I understand, January 1st is a huge celebration in the Philippines in an even greater way than we experience here. The Philippines is literally on the other side of the planet from the eastern part of the USA. So, when the clock strikes 11:01am Eastern time on December 31, it will click over to 2026 where they are. We pray they have a very safe, and very fun celebration. Their last event will see them participating in a health clinic in a needy area. Pray for effective ministry, and for people to respond to Christ as they are exposed to the gospel and the love of Jesus. (These pictures were taken in 2023)
Lord, hear our prayers for all our friends – those who have traveled to the Philippines, and also for our precious partners there. Please grow our Asia Pacific Conference, bringing many to know you through their work and witness.

And in the early days of January, the team will be heading home. Please pray for safe returns for everyone.
